White Chocolate Valentine Hearts

So what's your favorite chocolate?  When the box of chocolates arrives in front of you, which one do you devour first?  Dark chocolate?  Coconut or caramel filled?  Or do you just say, no?  Yeah, right?  Sometimes it is super fun to "sample" snack your way through the box to know which is which, you know...making sure all is good and safe for your family.  You are the best!  Always looking out for your loved ones!

White Chocolate Valentine Hearts

 Aren't they cute looking?!

They are so easy to make.  I saw these several years ago in a local magazine.  And every year I have left over candy canes...so this is perfect!

Here's what you do...

Ingredients:

mini candy canes

1 bag of white chocolate chips

Valentine colored sprinkles

On a sheet of waxed paper, place the candy canes in a heart shape.  Melt the white chocolate in a quart size baggie.  Melt in the microwave at 30 second intervals.  After each interval, knead the chocolate.  Keep up the process until the white chocolate is melted.  Cut a small tip off the corner of the baggie and pipe into the center of the candy cane shaped hearts.  Sprinkle with the Valentine colored sprinkles.  Let cool at room temperature.
